Abstract
Knowledge of the mammographic appearance and evolution of patterns of fat necrosis in patients who have undergone breast fat injection may enable imaging follow-up of these lesions, reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies or additional examinations and avoiding possible delays in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Because calcifications in breast parenchyma can be expected after breast fat injection, in our opinion this technique for breast augmentation should not be performed in patients with a family history of breast cancer.
